The engine is made in Japan and is of excellent quality. As good if not better than any Honda (if they even made a large displacement comparable engine). I bought this to replace my 17 year old 16hp(480cc)B&S Vtwin powered 8kw generator. That engine is still running perfectly,but, I couldn’t resist the $1400 price. That’s $600 less than I paid in 2001 for the 8kw. This one is 18hp(570cc) and is rated at 10kw operational and 12.5kw peek hp. Best deal on the market even at $2k.

Pleased with the purchase. Started on the first pull. Why the first pull you ask? The battery was dead and would not take a charge. A simple call to B&S customer service fixed that problem. Now, changing the battery is a nightmare. The battery holder is so tight that the battery will not slide out. You have to remove the gas tank and fuel line to gain access to the 4 screws and nuts that hold the battery tray. Since I don't ever want to do that again I have cut the lip off the battery tray and added 4 flat washers to the battery tray as spacers.
